Abraham Cruzvillegas is known for elegant constructions of found materials. He creates sculptures out of, in his

words, "wool, sheep shit, chicken wire, discarded furniture, cardboard, stones, grass and my own hair". These

materials, as well as the content and presentation of Cruzvillegas' work, reflect the practices growing out of a

marginalized world, pushed aside by private property and capital, such as protest songs and self-built homes.

This aspect of his work ties in as well as the public performance and collaboration that undergird some of

Cruzvillegas' projects.
